Oasis played the first of their big concert series in the place synomous with the band, Manchester on 4th June2009.

The show was notable for being a bit of a shocker with things going wrong around the band.

The band, playing in front of 70,000 fans, were finishing their first song - Rock 'n' Roll Star - when the sound system cut out. The Gallagher brothers left the stage and returned a couple of minutes later, launching into Lyla.

But two huge screens relaying the action to the capacity crowd went blank and there was a plume of smoke from behind the stage.

The band left again - and did not return until 45 minutes later.

Noel later said the show would be free - who knows if that means people actually get a refund...

What's notable about the set list is that Live Forever has snuck back in!
